5:21PM BST 19 Jul 2011

Mr Murdoch’s wife, Wendi Deng, who was sitting behind her husband, leapt to his defence as the man, wearing a checked shirt, tried to hit the media mogul with what witnesses drescribe as a plate of shaving foam or cream.

His son, James, who was sitting next to him during the Culture Committee evidence, also jumped up to defend his 80 year-old father.

The protest was seen live on television and the internet. The man was heard shouting: "I got him."
